Well I went to check in and SURPRISE-"you have a vaginal ultrasound scheduled". Uhm-nice? It wasn't nearly as bad as it may sound. :) Oh the joys of my Dr appointments!!
She had me sign a patient consent form about what side effects I could have by taking the steroids she prescribed me. She let me know that they look "scary" but that I shouldn't have any of them because my dose is on the lower side. Anyway-the steroids are for my high level of androgen or better known as male hormones. The dexamethasone test showed that by taking the steroids my levels went from 140-20(!!!!) and I should be anywhere from 0-40...so that was great to hear! She also said my lining looked "excellent" and she thinks I may ovulate soon. She thinks the dex. test I did regulated my cycle (at least for this month) and instructed us to have sex every other day until I get my cycle. Oddly enough I've been temping every morning at 5:45 when I wake up and it's starting to look like a "normal cycle". I really hope we get our positive pregnancy test soon. It would be such a great Christmas gift!
On another note-if I don't start my period by the 24th I'm supposed to go in for another ultrasound and see if I even ovulated or if I'm pregnant. If I do start my period I am supposed to go in on CD 1-5 and begin our first round of clomid! If I'm not pregnant in 3 cycles of charting, continuing on my meds, and having sex every other day I will be scheduled for an HSG and something called an "after sex test" (which I need to google right now)!
I'm happy with my appointment and I am really glad we seem to be moving forward. Please keep everything you have on your body crossed for us that everything happens sooner rather than later!! :)
